This post has actually nothing to do with crochet or knitting at all. I will use this post to collect all my lifescouts-badges as I go. If you want to do the same you can go on
Lifescouts.com and save and post the pictures of the badges or reblog them if you have tumblr.
So here are my badges:
When I was a kid, I brke my leg at the playground by falling off the slide's ladder. I was really young back then so the doctor didn't give me any crutches, because he assumed my parents could just carry me wherever I needed to go. As this appeared to not work too well, the neighbor's son lent me his skateboard to sit on and move forward thanks to that. Thank you!
In my early teens I used to go to the swimming pool a lot in summer. Once there were people with oxygen-bottles that were trying to recruite kids for the scuba-diving club. I didn't join the club, but I got to swim through the pool with the bottles on my back.
I don't have a driver's license yet so this might actually be a bit illegal. As a kid I would sit in my dad's car on the driver's seat and listen to the radio. Unfortunately once I somehow managed to losen the hand brake and the car - which has been standing on a slightly down-going hill - started to roll towards the garden's gate. My dad managed to stop it before there was any damage done.
I don't know how to play the guitar even though I wanted to learn it. Anyway I know how to change the strings of a guitar, but I had to fail before I managed to do it right. My sister has two guitars, a classic and a folk. (If I'm right, the folk is the bigger one) I was used to the sound of the classic guitar which had plastic-strings. When my sister got the folk-guitar (second-hand with no strings) I had to put strings on it. The metal-strings of a folk-guitar sounded a bit weird to me - as if they were too lose... So I pulled them tight to make them sound right and - of course - the strings cracked and we had to buy another set... >__<
I was barely a year old when my family moved to France. I went to school here so I was forced to learn the language. I have passed my A-levels in French litterature last year.
I didn't really know what to say about this... When I was in primary school I had to get up on my own once and the fact that I didn't know how to read a clock made me so nervous that I left home two hours too early... I stood in front of my school during sunrise. OR four years ago a friend invitied me to a pyjama-party. We agreed that we'd stay up until sunrise, which I hadn't done before. In the end I was the only one that hadn't fallen asleep already when the sun actually rose... Pick one.
As kids my sister and me used to have picnics in our garden. My mum would give us a blanket and make us sandwiches.
I went to school in France so part of my primary-school-PE-lessons was two to three months of swimming. We'd go to an indoor-swimming pool and split into groups of different levels of swimming-skills. From "doesn't know at all how not to drown", which would wear white caps to "Can stay in the water without drowning until the end of the lesson" which usually had either red, blue or green caps depending of the teacher. Goal of those lessons was to ensure that everyone in primary school would learn how to swim. However there was one pupil in my class that managed to spend the five years of primary school without keeping their head above the water-line. Once primary-school is over, we're supposed to know ow to swim, but we still have swimming in PE to learn different swimming-styles and how to save someone from drowning. I actually didn't learn how to swim in PE, but during the summer vacation at the pool on ONE AFTERNOON! Yay me! (If I can do that, Alex Day can do it too!)
Does it count if several of my friends are persuaded that my house is haunted?
I'm not going to really get into this... I live in Alsace, in France. I think we all HAVE to go to the zoo at least once during primary school. I went thrice.
When I was about 6 years old I had the same dream as 90% of the girls that age. I wanted a horse. I didn't get one... But my cousins had horse-riding lessons and one of them took me with her once. I got to ride a black poney called Rex with my little sister for about 10 minutes. It was great, although I had some trouble getting off the horse...
I own: (get a grip) 1 dog, at least half a dozen mice that live in my house... although they've never been adopted... , a dozen chicken including a rooster. I used to have a dozen cats too, but... well, cats actually have only one life.
I'm not very good at it, but my dad and I spent a whole weekend playing chess. He won of course, because we were trying to teach me to play it, but I was very poor at it...
I'm not very much into video games, but I played some anyway. I've played both parts of the Secret Files games (Tunguska and Puritas Cordis). I also started Zelda - Ocarina Of Time a while ago (when I made the pattern to the Kokiri's Emerald) but I never had the chance to finish it. I've started The Wind Waker last weekend, which is the reason for the Korok pattern!
Er... Who's never played scrabble?! Anyway... I've had one game of scrabble once with a friend where we used EVERY language either of us knew. I used japanese, for example. Our board was quite full in the end... I don't remember who won though...
~More to come~
All tassels attached and cut to an even lenth.
There it is. I didn't take a picture of me wearing it, I'll take one some time when I wear clothes that work with the cowl...
